Generally speaking,
Special Operations are open to all SPA pilots, of any rank.

Prior to flying any
special operations flight, all pilots should have
completed their ONE required assigned flight for the month (exception:
Fleet Captains who do not have assigned flights).

A pilot may only fly
a flight with an aircraft corresponding to the
category he is qualified for. Permission from his regular hub
Manager should be obtained to fly a higher category of aircraft whilst
flying a Special Ops flight.

Flight hours are only
valid if the correct category of aircraft is used. Exception, see point
3 above.

Any question
concerning Special Operations should be addressed directly
to the SOP manager (sopmanager@stpaulairlines.com).

PIREP must be
logged immediately after completing the flight or through FSACARS.

It is always
possible
to do a set of SOP flights backwards, starting with the last flight
first. In this case, file the PIREP
with an R at the end as in 9######R
